5 Benefits of using a natural hand soap product
We often notice that our hands appear to be dry and also get that dry feeling after getting our hands washed. This is because of the chemicals that are present in industrially produced hand soap products. This may seem to be a small reason to think about stopping the usage of these soap products. However, as you will see, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Let us see what are the threats posed by these chemically enriched hand soap products and how using a natural hand soap product act as beneficial and safer alternatives to these. 1. Industrially produced hand soap products are produced on a mass scale. The companies producing these products have one sole motive – profitability. So, they use chemicals of a lower grade to keep the prices of the products as low as possible and also generate the maximum profit. Our skin is a porous layer and is permeable to a wide variety of substances. The chemicals present in these soap products are micro entities and find their way into our bodies through the skin and may lead to certain adverse effects. A natural hand soap product is devoid of these harmful chemicals as it is made with natural ingredients. 2. Conventionally produced hand soap products just clean up your hands, without producing any additional benefits. A natural hand soap product is a premium product which is composed of natural ingredients like aloe vera and certain essential oils that are beneficial to the skin on your hands and this is especially important as our hands are exposed to a wide variety of unwanted substances like germs, and harmful chemicals. 3. The chemicals present in conventional hand soap products, as we have seen above, often lead to dry skin. And you may have to purchase moisturizers from these very companies again for your dry skin. These industrially produced moisturizers are again composed of many harmful chemicals and you may end up accumulating more and more of these harmful chemicals in your system. A natural hand soap product, since devoid of such harmful chemicals, and made totally with natural ingredients, is gentler and as we have seen, more beneficial to the skin. 4. Conventionally produced hand soaps contain fragrances that mimic the natural fragrances, with the help of certain chemicals. The regulations allow the companies to keep the names of these chemicals a secret in order to prevent other companies from using these same chemicals to produce the same fragrance. However, in this process, the consumers are left in the blind. They just know that their hand washes smell like lavender or lemon or some other natural product, without knowing what harmful chemicals go into the making of these fragrances. A natural hand soap product, on the other hand, uses the original natural products to produce the original fragrance and the users know what products go into the making of the product. 5. A lot of harmful chemicals are released into the environment during the manufacturing process of the industrially produced hand soap products. The release of these chemicals into the air and water take a toll on the environment. Washing our hands with these products also leads to accumulation of these chemicals into the nearest water bodies, thus polluting them in the process. A natural hand soap product, being made of natural ingredients and made by hand, is also environmentally friendly. So, next time you go to a departmental store to buy your regular hand wash, keep in mind the harmful effects it has on your body and the environment. If you can shell out a few extra bucks from your pocket, it is advisable going for a premium handmade natural hand soap product.
